• Shape them into Zingy Parcels, just like shown in the picture.

• Fill the parcels with stuffing and a generous amount of Mozzarella & Cheddar cheese.

• Finally, shape into a veg zingy parcel.

Step 4: Baking the Parcels

• Bake at 180°C for 15 minutes until golden and crispy.

How to Serve?

Variations to Try

• Cheesy Overload: Double the mozzarella for an extra gooey filling.

• Spicy Version: Add a bit of hot sauce to the mix for an extra kick!

Storage & Reheating Tips

• Store leftover parcels in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, pop them in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 5-7 minutes to regain their crispiness.
• Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is zingy?

The "zingy" flavor in veg Zingy Parcel comes from a mix of spices like red chili flakes, oregano, black pepper, chaat masala, and a creamy, tangy mayo-based filling.

How to make zingy parcel at home without paneer?

You can replace paneer with grated mozzarella for a cheesier version, mashed potatoes for a creamy texture, or even finely chopped mushrooms for a unique twist in a veg zingy parcel recipe.

How many calories are in a veg parcel?

A homemade veg Zingy Parcel recipe contains approximately 180-220 calories, depending on the ingredients used. Store-bought versions may have slightly more due to added preservatives and cheese.

How to get soft & fluffy dough?

Ensure you knead the dough well and allow it to rise properly. Using warm milk instead of water and adding butter or oil helps make the dough softer.

How to make the crust crispy yet soft inside?

Bake at the right temperature (180°C), use a preheated oven, and brush with butter before and after baking. This keeps the crust crisp while the inside remains fluffy.
